LE makes it clear, in the complaint filed against BC, that they believe Yingying is no longer alive. They base that belief, according to the complaint, on the audio recorded while he was under surveillance where he stated that he kidnapped her, took her back to his apartment, and otherwise held her there against her will. They then follow up by stating that as of June 30, she remains missing, and state that "based on this, and other facts uncovered during the investigation of this matter, law enforcement does not believe that YZ is still alive". I am very curious as to what the 'other facts uncovered' consist of. Although BC initially lied to LE about having picked Yingying up, when they initially spoke with him, and then changed his story on a follow-up interview, they obviously do believe that he was being truthful when he was recorded speaking to someone else. Was it because he spoke specifically of things he had done that they could verify or corroborate, based on evidence they seized? Was it, as I really believe, because they found video or photographic evidence on his seized phone? Was it because of evidence found, or seemingly destroyed, in his car or apartment? I don't imagine there was a large pool of blood found in his apartment, or it would most likely still be sealed by crime tape, and we have heard no one state that it is. Also, with arms the size of his, and being so much bigger than Yingying, without getting graphic, I think he could easily kill her without it being a bloodbath. Was it because of his digital footprint? I see that as possibly strong circumstantial evidence supporting other evidence, but dont see it, in and of itself, being something LE would use to say they believe she is dead. Curious as to what others feel the 'other facts uncovered' may be.
